RB Allocation Scheme for eMBB and URLLC Coexistence in 5G and Beyond

Abstract

In this paper, we studied resource allocation in a dynamic multiplexing scenario of two 5G services, namely, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and ultrareliable low-latency communication (URLLC). Considering that eMBB services focus on high data rates while URLLC is very strict in terms of latency and reliability, we formulate a joint eMBB/URLLC resource allocation problem. To solve the formulated problem, in particular, we propose a joint resource allocation algorithm that can satisfy both eMBB user rate and URLLC interrupt probability requirements. We propose an RB allocation scheme that takes into account the needs of eMBB and URLLC users. The program consists of two phases as follows: (1) establish an RB allocation for eMBB users and (2) assign the minislot for URLLC users and calculate the transmission power of URLLC users that ensures the reliability constraint. We also realize and verify the algorithm through the simulation.
